TB7-04646

The claimant's written BOC materially contradicted his oral testimony, key allegations lacked corroboration despite being reasonably obtainable, and documentary items were non‑contemporaneous or unreliable; on that basis the panel drew adverse inferences, found the claimant not credible on material issues, and concluded he failed to establish a well‑founded fear of persecution under s.96 or a risk of torture/death under s.97(1) IRPA.
